Infrared night vision digital camera/camcorder

Step 14 Check the focus

Insert batteries and turn the camera on.  Zoom in all the way so you can see the most detail and turn the lens to focus on an object about 2 feet away.  The reason for focusing on a relatively close object is that the IR LED's have a limited range so objects you will be photographing will probably be quite close to the camera.  Also IR light will be in focus at a further distance than visible light.   You can check the IR focus by replacing the LED ring (photo), darkening the room, and turning on the LED's.  The white LED's should not come on now.  You may need to remove the LED ring again to adjust the focus.  You can connect the camera to your TV or computer to get a better image for focusing.
